Rattling, that was quick. When modder Yui announced last month that they have been engaged on a seamless co-op mod for Dark Souls: Remastered, however have been nonetheless early on within the improvement course of, I figured it won’t arrive earlier than Elden Ring Nightreign drops subsequent month. However, lo and behold, right here it’s!
To be honest, I might need guessed, because the creator of Elden Ring‘s hottest multiplayer mod has been on an absolute tear these days. They put out a Dark Souls 3 seamless co-op mod, again in February, in order that’s now two large mods launched within the first 4 months of this yr. Phwoar.
With none additional adieu, you’ll be able to seize Darkish Souls: Remastered seamless co-op here, nevertheless it’s price studying on earlier than you do, as this launch model of the mod comes with some high-quality print.
“The mod is presently in an alpha state, so you’re very more likely to expertise bugs,” Yui wrote in its description, “When you do, please report them to me in as a lot element as doable and I am going to work to repair them for future variations.” So, with the ability to leap into DSR co-op proper now will imply serving as a little bit of an early entry guinea pig that will run into or want to assist type out some teething troubles, not that that’ll essentially matter to you.
In any case, as you’ll be able to see demoed above, the mod comes with all the same old sorts of multiplayer additions and tweaks you will have come to anticipate should you’ve performed any of Yui’s different seamless co-op mods. You possibly can leap into DSR’s open world with as much as 5 different gamers, expertise stuff like NPC dialogue in unison, and tackle bosses with out your buddies getting despatched residence in the event that they die or as soon as the struggle is finished. As a substitute, anybody who falls in battle will likely be left to spectate the others till they’ll be part of within the motion once more.
Another noteworthy tweaks it comes with embrace “an overhaul to Dark Souls‘ peer-to-peer connection system, utilizing Steam’s newer networking API”, “a streamlined connection system implies that co-operators can be part of the host from wherever on the planet”, and the introduction of some additional enemy scaling to assist preserve issues decently balanced. You may as well allow invasions should you fancy the additional problem that entails.
Good. That must preserve you going till you’ll be able to lose a bunch more runes to Nightreign’s nightlords and slew of different hazards subsequent month.
